Roger Beckett Date: 09/27/16 08:47 Re: Coal exports from Tumbler Ridge resume... Author: loleta Two questions for anyone in the know:
Where on the Tumbler Sub. is the Brule mine? What is meant by "geology issues" at Willow Creek? - L.F. Date: 09/27/16 09:41 Re: Coal exports from Tumbler Ridge resume... Author: LKeithR Yes, only one of the electrics is left--6001 is in the Prince George Railway Museum.
Mining activity in Tumbler Ridge is all within about 10 miles of the town. The Brule mine is about 20 miles ESE of Chetwynd and has no rail access. Coal moves by truck to a loadout facillity 5-6 miles west of Pine Valley... Keith Robertson Langley, BC Date: 09/27/16 14:43 Re: Coal exports from Tumbler Ridge resume... Author: railsmith Of the three mines referenced in this story, only the Wolverine mine is on the Tumbler Subdivsion.
When they were operating, both the Brule and Willow Creek mines shipped from a backtrack at Falls on the Chetwynd Sub. The product was loaded by front-end loaders. |
